Review By Computershopper

The 1,440×900 screen is good for what it is. Colors were bright, viewing angles were fine, and movies looked good, though we did note some glare. Above the keyboard is the 1.3-megapixel Webcam, which produced a very nice image both under office lighting and in the dark, but the camera could not keep up with motion. While it never froze up on us, lots of motion blur was evident. The High Definition Audio speakers are fine and put out sufficient volume, but they’re nothing to write home about.

Review By Laptopmag

The massive 15.8 x 11.8 x 1.7-inch P-7808u FX has a glossy black shell with the same Halloween-esque orange, silver, and carbon fiber accents that we’re familiar with from earlier models, such as the P-7811 FX. Gateway packs the 9-pound P-7808u FX with a full-size, copper-bordered keyboard and number pad. The keyboard exhibited very little flex and was comfortable to type on. The layout was spacious enough even with the full number pad, although the right Shift key is shrunken. We also liked that the mouse buttons had a snappy response and were easy to press quickly (which makes it easier to blast away opponents).
